Subwoofer Box Build: Spring 2010

[StereoInstaller1]

What amp you plan on?

[foglght]

Got my box today.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Now I just have to find a sub. Hey Luke, I remember in another thread there was a sub for like $50, but I'm too lazy to find it, so uh...any recommendations for subs that won't break the bank? :p

Matt

If you want a 10" sub, I have a few.

Diamond D3 and D1, one of each
Polk Momo, 3 of them
ED 110v.2 (dual 2 ohm), two of those

I read this whole thread and I still don't know how much these boxes are?

I deleted the price when I sold all of them, but they were $185 plus shipping.

What do you want for your woofers? All of those would sound great in these boxes.

The polks $35 each
The Diamonds $50 each
ED subs, $120 each

The only issue with them is that they are heavy (obviously). If I am going to ship them, they need to be done right, which can get pricy with a heavy sub.

If someone is local, I'd sell on pickup all 4 Polk subs for $100. One of the subs has a crack in the cone but still works just fine. The rest of the Polks have various scratches, but nothing to impede performance.

I also have batshit insane more stuff for sale, including 12" subs, head units, and a bunch of amps.

You should get a FS thread together. An easier way to ship woofers is to screw them to a panel (making sure the suspension is safe) that fits properly inside the cardboard.

Years and years ago I built a car with a 30" woofer. I had to ship that stupid thing back and forth between San Diego and Portland like 4 times. I ended up building a really simple shipping crate, but hopefully you won't need to go that far for a 10" woofer!

I pm'd you what it was but I forget the name of it. It's some cheapy 1000w 4/3/2 channel amp that my friend is gonna give me.

Thats right, you need a 4 ohm woofer. Either 2 ohm/coil DVC or a SVC 4 ohm

I already sold a bunch of it, and now I'm rethinking about selling some of it, because the system in the E30 is less than pleasing.

The bitch of it is that this car is slowly going to become a Spec E30 over the next two years.

SO, I have to figure out some way to deaden the car without making it a giant pain in the arse to get it all back out when I get serious about converting it.

My previous car had Rammat all over it, and removing that stuff was horrible. Don't want to do that again.

I also have to be careful about cutting holes in sheet metal, since that could be looked at as cheating with the sanctioning body.

HA HA, I'm screwed.:crazy:

250-350 total for all 4 channels, or per channel?

I have 2, 4-channel amps left:

1. Diamond D700.4, does 115x4 at 4 ohm
2. Cadence TXA-3004, does 75x4 at 4ohm

I'd much rather sell the diamond amp. Its a really nice amp. I just don't need something that big anymore. I still have the original box.

[StereoInstaller1]

IMO, Sound deadning is an absolute waste of time and money on an E30.

I can tell you this: with one of my boxes and say 300 watts RMS on a decent 10" woofer, you can get 125db at about 25Hz or so...so pretty damn serious bass, right? I mean, it ain't 150+db...but you ain't gonna get 150db in an e30 without WAY more weight, power, etc...the box weighs 35 pounds, so if you are careful about it, you can mix and match, get about 120ish db in the same weight that the trunk tar most 6 cylinder cars came with.

My wifes car has 140W RMS from half of a 4 channel Alpine amp. With her windows down, I can hear her coming from a block or so...but with the windows up, I cannot hear her coming at all.

Not one car I have done yet has had ANY kind of rattle from the outside...zero.

No rattles inside, except the normal crap in the door pockets, glovebox...none.

Don't waste your time or money on dynamat.

Luke, for all 4 channels. Theres a guy here in town who wants to sell my a Legacy 300w 4 ch amp for 50$. I looked it up online and it sells for like 35$ brand new. I know legacy is pretty crappy but if I can score it for 20$, do you think its worth it??

[StereoInstaller1]

Gimme a model number, I can check.

You still rocking that Titanium Power I sold you on bass?

Legacy LA160. FYI im running dual Diamond Audio 8" subs rated at 125w RMS each IIRC.

I fucking wish! I sold that system with the e30 :(.

Fair enough.

What driver specs did you model the box from? I thought I remember you saying it was ported with a higher 35hz tuning freq.? Also, what interior volume does it have?

Just curious. Wanted to model the drivers I have in your box before purchasing, at least for mechanical response guestimations. I have no idea what the transfer function is for this car.

The Diamond amp I have won't be cheap. I could probably part with it for $300. It's a really nice amp though.

For reference, it is a D6 700.4.

Mine actually had a warranty since it was given to me by Diamond. I had an older D6 go bad on me, and received this one as a replacement.
